Nachos

Oh nachos, why do you have to be so delicious? I really do love a good plate of nachos — especially when they come loaded with all the good stuff like cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños. Not exactly the healthiest guilty pleasure, but they sure are tasty. With Spring right around the corner, I'm trying to get my body back to pre-Winter shape by amping up my workouts and cutting back on my junk food favorites.

Rather than kiss nachos goodbye for the next four months, I've decided to tweak my recipe by cutting out the fat and calories and adding in some wholesome goodness.

Keep reading to see what I've come up with for my new and improved nacho dish.

FitSugar reader JuicyNoelle shared this healthy nacho recipe in the Healthy Recipe community group.

Getting ready for the big game this weekend? These Surfer Style Nachos are loaded with fresh tomatoes, beans, salsa, and corn set atop a deliciously crunchy chip.

Now check out the recipe.

Nachos are one of my favorite foods, so when I realized the Super Bowl was around the corner, I had to whip up a batch. The thing that makes these nachos — which are not baked, but assembled — absolutely to die for is the spicy queso sauce.

I used Cabot's hot habanero cheddar, and I highly recommend seeking out this cheese to make these nachos. Combined with a quick béchamel, it results in a super creamy, sharp, spicy, and flavorful queso sauce. The chorizo pinto bean mixture is also wildly delicious and could easily be used in huevos rancheros or as the filling for quesadillas.

If you're a fan of classic fiery Tex-Mex, you must make this recipe. It sounds crazy, but I think these were the best nachos I've ever eaten — and I've tried a lot of nachos! Check out the method now.

The Super Bowl is swiftly approaching and with it visions of burgers, cheese dips, and pigs in a blanket. From hot wings to bacon-wrapped shrimp, I'm a huge fan of game day foods. However, when I hear the words "Super Bowl," there's one dish that comes to mind, and it causes my heart to beat a little faster. That's right, you guessed it: nachos! I can't resist a heaping plate of guacamole- and sour-cream-topped cheesy tortilla chips. Give me a cold beer on the side, and I'm a happy camper. How about you? What foods are you looking forward to eating on the big day?

When I was selecting my 10 favorite nacho recipes, I suddenly had an intense craving for nachos. So much so that I decided to make some! Not just any recipe though — one that I had seen in Everyday Food for Emeril's amazing-looking spicy sausage nachos. They're loaded with jalapeños, black beans, pepper Jack cheese, and hot sausage.

The only problem with these nachos is that it's hard to stop eating them. I devoured my entire plate and then went back for seconds. If you have the time, I highly recommend serving them with homemade salsa. I used the Pioneer Woman's chunky variation and it took these nachos to a whole new level.
